One has to question why this man was on the streets, it wasn’t like he was arrested and convicted for marijuana or speeding tickets, we’re talking violent assault. This is the kind of person who should not have a gun and yet it seems the Left in their desperation to promote their odd agenda is pretending that Mr. Scott should have been protected via the Second Amendment.

It’s funny when the Left acts like they give a damn about the Constitution.

Are you telling me now that anti-gun types, progressives are arguing in FAVOR of prohibited possessors with violent records carrying guns?

Gun rights are for all Americans unless they are felons which is THE LAW. You know, you gun control types are always pushing for common sense gun control and gosh, golly and gee, keeping guns from a violent felon is common sense gun control. It’s not a racial thing, if a white man had been convicted of violent assault and was brandishing a weapon while approaching a police officer he too would have met this same fate.

Scott is a reported violent offender barred from legal carry so will @Eugene_Robinson clarify if he's arguing in favor of him brandishing?
